School board adopts adult meal price increase, approves interdistrict caps and personnel leave
Summary
Coos Bay School District 9 board members approved a resolution raising adult meal prices, set inter-district transfer class-size caps for 2025–26, and granted an unpaid leave to a Marshfield Junior High teacher in a string of unanimous votes.
The Coos Bay School District 9 Board of Directors voted unanimously on several routine and administrative items during its regular meeting, adopting a resolution to increase adult meal prices, approving class-size limits for inter-district transfers for 2025–26 and granting an unpaid leave of absence for a staff member.
The board adopted Resolution No. 202502 to raise adult lunch and breakfast prices for adults. The resolution increases adult lunch from $4.27 to $4.99 and adult breakfast from an earlier price to $2.84; it also raises adult milk to $0.80. The administration said the change reflects commodity values and vendor (Sodexo) pricing; the district does not expect to generate profit from the increase. The board approved the resolution on a roll-call vote (unanimous aye).
The board also adopted inter-district transfer class-size limits for the 2025–26 school year. The limits approved were: kindergarten–1, 24 students; grades 2–3, 25 students; grades 4–5, 26 students; grades 6–7, 27 students; and grades 8–12, 30 students. The superintendent explained the policy will allow the district to accept transfers up to those caps and to continue admitting transfers until classes reach those limits. The motion passed on a unanimous voice/roll call vote.
Separately, the board approved an unpaid leave of absence for Blake Sentman, a PE/health teacher at Marshfield Junior High, for the first three months of the next school year. The board moved and seconded the leave and approved it unanimously; the superintendent said there is a plan in place to cover the vacancy.
The board also approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda at the start of the session; both motions were adopted without objection and with recorded approvals.
